    Can't you racist-ists and racist-ist-ists just get along?

    The Terms of service say you cannot post content that "victimizes, harasses, degrades, or intimidates an individual or group of individuals on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or disability." So the question is, does the use of those labels degrade a group of individuals on the basis of race? Probably so if you define degrading as some form of disrespect. But I think it's impossible to have a forum on Politics and Religion that does not have critical and sometimes disrespectful views and language expressed. So that's the quandary.

  4. So you don't think there can be open political discourse without the use of the "N" word or its equivalents, or calls for segregation, or otherwise labeling entire groups of people of an ethnicity or color with broad brush generalizations and holding them beneath contempt?

    This post reeks of hypocrisy. All anyone has to do is watch the news for a day or two and they'll see liberals screaming that some negro's freedoms are being taken away after they've been kicked out of a swimming pool for breaking all rules of civilized behavior.

    The "N" word is out of bounds. I'm not clear if equivalents to the "N" word really exist. If we have to look up a term in a dictionary to figure out what it means, then it's too obscure to equate it with a commonly recognized term. And of course you can label groups of people to make your point. You might be wrong, but that's "open" political discourse. Get over your exaggerated outrage and have a sense of proportion. The point of the original statement was that police officers have strong disincentives to work in crime-ridden neighborhoods. The focus on a couple of the labels used was a distraction from the main point.

    I honestly and sincerely thought that the term "Nog" was short for eggnog.

    Like, "I'll have another cup of "Nog", and don't be stingy with the Spiced Rum."

    You may want to sample a broader range of Gregg's posts. This is not an isolated instance but of a pattern of behavior.

    However, if it is not a matter of importance to the owner, one can either take it or leave it.
